I will turn in all NVC documents soon. 

I just noticed that the interview location is Taipei. Makes sense b/c that's where we were when we sent the I-130. We are now in my wife's home country of France. 

How do we move the interview location? Will that significantly delay the process?

Contact the consulate in Paris and request a transfer of your case from Taipei to Paris..  There will be a delay.

So you are not done with NVC, then just email NVC that you have moved to France and would like to change your interview location. Provide new address. If you are a a French citizen, provide a copy of your passport or else provide proof that you are residing in France. No delays since it's still at NVC.

A week a go, I sent an 'email inquiry' via the NVC system requesting a change of interview location from Taipei to Paris. 

France is my wife's home country so I included her passport as well. 

I've heard nothing. So what do I do now? Do I call the embassy? Do I call the NVC? Do I go ahead and submit my NVC paperwork?

It's been just a week, give NVC few weeks to respond. The embassies aren't involved yet so no point contacting them. You can begin NVC paperwork, the embassy change won't impact the nvc process.

Submit the NVC documents asap.....a week is way too soon to worry about a delayed response.  I assume you contacted the US consulate in Paris and NVC to request the transfer.
